The Henchies at this very moment are the worst I've ever seen them. Aiden, Cynn, Dunham, etc are ALL tanks now. Ever since the NFPE, they've all decided the best way to fight is to throw a skill, run ahead, throw a skill, run closer, aggro further, etc.

This is total bs. I've henchied basically every mission in both campaigns, and have advocated their use repeatedly on this and other forums. Not anymore. They suck now, and need to be fixed asap.

Just one of the MANY problems that seem to be cropping up as the Nightfall rollout approaches. Does Anet really want to sacrifice both of the previous Chapters just to introduce new things in Nightfall (tabbed builds, heros, etc.) As of now, it certainly seem to be the case.

This dummy down of the AI needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. For those of use that HATE pugs and don't have enough guildies available to fill a party, this is a SERIOUS issue in PvE play.

Which made Gyala's master very difficult last night. I was with a group of friend, we had Gita as tank aparently. The -60 dp on her made the last fight with the afflicted very tricky (must admit more of us were hit with a high dp).

Really glad we made it, at one point seeing the last man standing (a ritualist) was rebirthing all the others while the 3 last afflicted were pounding on him, such a close call.

The best solution.... just don't take melee range henchman. That way there is no front line for them to advance to. Works like a charm in the Luxon side using all 3 Ranger hench, 2 Eles and 2 Monks. Managed to walk through the Second Wind boss and the Grasping was Kurrong boss like they were nothing with the sheer number of interrupts and long range attacks going off. Makes over agroing alot easier to control, haven't henched (or indeed played properly... f*cking err7s) since the NFPE so i dunno how screwed up things are.

Oh crap the world am doommed1!1.

You should know better that Anet will fix this.

AS it stands, working to get Nightfall completed is worth more than a couple of weeks of inconvenience. And tabbed builds has nothing to do with the AI.

I use henchies a lot too, all it takes is readjusting your play style until the fix rolls out.

Next up, "Oh, stop your whining, if you want decent henchies then buy Nightfall!"

God knows, it's completely unreasonable to expect the roll-out of a new product not to utterly FUBAR two previous products, what sort of person would expect such a silly thing?

One that whines about bugs that are still being fixed.
